Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

ESL speaker here, agreeing with something someone said further up: IT's easy to get it mixed up when, for instance, your school English has been mostly British but a lot of the media exposure etc. has been American. However, I try to keep it straight and encourage people to correct me.

But I've got to mention at this point that the way many English-speakers write ESL characters is just plain ridiculous. I chuckle whenever I see 'Fraulein' and so on. I know it's often that way in canon, but that doesn't make it less weird, really.
